Starstruck

September 15, 2014
Witt (General Misconduct) delivers an absorbing contemporary romance about two actors who struggle with combining work and love. Action star Levi Pritchard left Hollywood for remote Washington State to live quietly alone and direct smalltown theater. His plans are
derailed when an old friend, now the
director of the hot TV series Wolf’s Landing, offers Levi the role he’s waited his entire career for—one that would
allow the world to see him as more than a one-dimensional macho man. Carter Samuels is the star of Wolf’s Landing, and he’s had a crush on Levi for years. As filming continues, the two men grow closer and closer. But while Carter is openly gay, Levi is not, and Carter refuses to be any man’s dirty little secret. When the studio gives Levi an ultimatum—stay closeted or lose his dream role—he must choose between his career and his lover. Witt’s powerful story will have readers riveted.

After leaving Hollywood for sleepy Bluewater Bay, Washington, Levi Pritchard is handed a golden opportunity when he's asked to be a part of the hottest show on TV, Wolf's Landing. This will give him the chance to finally break out of his action-hero pigeonhole and to be near Carter Samuels, the young, gorgeous, out-and-proud star of the show, on whom firmly in-the-closet Levi has a wicked crush. Sparks fly, but the studio is holding Levi to his I'm not gay stance. Their relationship develops slowly; they bond over indie movies and fishing. Levi's indecision at coming out almost ruins their chances for a relationship. It is only after Levi almost loses Carter that he finally comes to terms with who he is and whom he wants to be with. Watching Carter and Levi develop as a couple is great fun. They share an affection for Levi's mammoth cats, tease each other, and crack juvenile jokes. Watching them fall in love is, as their enthusiastic director Anna says, HAWT. (Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
